IMF:The Money Revolution

 

Crypto, CBDCs, and the future of finance.

F&D Sept 2022 Issue: The Money Revolution Dear maria, Rapid technological innovation is ushering in a new era of public and private digital money, with the potential to improve competition and efficiency and reduce costs. But some forms of digital money pose significant challenges, and not all of them will prove viable. In our September 2022 edition of F&D Magazine we focus on the ongoing money revolution and its implications for finance, monetary policy, international capital flows, and society at large. “The future of money is undoubtedly digital,” writes F&D editor-in-chief Gita Bhatt. “The question is: what is it going to look like?” In this edition, we attempt to answer that question, drawing on cutting-edge research and analysis from economists and other leading experts who range from digital money enthusiasts to crypto skeptics. The issue examines such topics as regulation, cybersecurity, and privacy, while at the same time exploring digital currency’s promise for cross-border payments, central banking, renewable energy, and more. To help further inform debate, this issue features complementary podcasts, videos, and other multimedia elements you can find here. We also provide a look at how this money transformation is playing out for ordinary people around the world, from Indonesia’s “Silicon Bali” entrepreneurs to India’s digitally savvy youth and Africa’s small business owners. We hope our readers learn a thing or two about the fast-changing financial landscape from this edition. We certainly did.

U.S. Department of Labor:Happy Labor Day!

 

U.S. Department of Labor

September 1, 2022

On Labor Day we honor the achievements of America’s workers, and this year we have a historic victory to celebrate: Since President Biden took office through July, we’ve added 9.5 million jobs to the economy, and the unemployment rate plunged to 3.5%, matching a 53-year low. At every turn, working people are seizing opportunities and proving that, even though work is changing, America is a country filled with hard workers. Thanks to President Biden’s leadership, the jobs that will be created under the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act will only build on this momentum. As we recognize Labor Day in 2022, I want to highlight a few of the many ways the U.S. Department of Labor and the Biden-Harris administration are empowering workers by promoting good jobs and providing the tools and resources they need to succeed. And as you look forward to the summer’s last long weekend, I encourage you to pause for a moment and remember: Every recovery has a lesson to teach. Here’s one for this Labor Day: Never bet against America’s workers. In solidarity, Marty Walsh U.S. Secretary of Labor How we’re improving job quality and supporting workers this Labor Day
